New Cherry MX keyboards for the A500, A600 and A1200

Declaring interest in one of Kippers keyboards if then are not long gone!

This saga is bay sh&t crazy.

This is the biggest disappointment I've had in the Amiga world in probably a decade if not more. I still can't believe the state of this. There has to be another way to get this hardware

I'm surprised to get an update on this thread and see this is still ongoing 27 months after I received mine, 54 months after I ordered it. Truly bizarre.

The issue was the preorder and then the complete disregard for any communication whatsoever.

[cloverskull]

AOTL is the sole distributor for this, right? And it seems like they haven't made a single comment about it in over a year.

[zodiac]

Kipper and AOTL over hyped the product and took preorders. They said that it would ship that Christmas, which was part of the hype and why people placed preorders.

I didn’t receive the keyboard until 3 years after I paid the preorder. The keyboard works well enough, but there are better options out there overseas.

I wouldn’t purchase anything from AOTL. It’s like a part time store. There is no one active there. Maybe the Owner passed away or something.

[qz3fwd]

What other overseas options are you referring to which are actually available ?

[zodiac]

You will have to wait until early 2024 when he has more stock.

Yes that is chronically no-stocked also, but I have had my eye on it for a couple months. Here is hoping.

I'm still hoping on the A1200 net one to come out of WIP

I dont remember anymore how many years Ive been waiting for my dark keycaps from A1200.net but its been many years.
So while they eventually deliver, I hope you are a patient person ;-)

Yes, I know.. bought 3 amiga 500 cases now from a1200.net..
But there are no a500 keycaps, only a1200 ones (they are too white).

Now I have nice cases with yellow keycaps...ah well, the joy of ocd, I guess

Well look on the bright side, all your cases will be yellow by the time you receive your keycaps

While it's not a funny situation, I did laugh out loud at that
